That’s how I feel now … no more blue skies, minus 15 degrees C, no more vino branco, … Listening to the beautiful fado-singer Mariza and unpacking what I bought in Lisbon, helps a bit …

Before leaving for Lisbon I checked some Portuguese blogs for addresses of nice designer shops. On the first mosaic you see the shop ‘Rosa 78’ (Bairro Alto). And now I have a real Mariela Dias, a Portuguese felt designer I’ve been following quite some time (cf her blog right of this blogpost). The green necklace on the picture is of Fio-me.

On the second mosaic you see a gorgeous bead shop in the Alfama quarter of Lisbon. Lots of glass beads. I bought some very beautiful ceramic beads.

I’ll be back with more pictures of Lisbon… but there’s a lot to do the following days (a.o. a craftfair in 10 days ..) and I have to regain work as from tomorrow ;-(
